After quite some time (last release 01-04-2009), hdapsd got a bit of love.

Brice Arnould has contributed some code for Hewlett-Packard laptops (those supported by the hp_accel module, see drivers/hwmon/hp_accel.c) and I finally crossed all lines and wrote support for Apple MacBooks (the Intel ones, via applesmc module, see drivers/hwmon/applesmc.c).

The HP code is interesting, as it support a hardware-logic mode, where hdapsd only parks the heads when told so by the HP hardware. As I do not own any compatible hardware, this is only tested by Brice himself.

The Apple SMC code isn't tested at all, as I don't have the hardware either.

That's why I want YOU to test it further (both, on HP and Apple) and report me bugs (mail to evgeni@debian.org preferred) if you find any :)
